The good side

Today I was trimming my beard. 

This is a new activity for me.  I notice things as I peer into the mirror.  Particularly that the hair on one side of my head is straight.  On the other side the fulness of the follicles is noticeable (OK, I used the alliteration for emphasis, even though the strict word definition doesn’t quite hold up the illustration – if you get this, welcome to the geek world of grammar and lexicography!).

I mentioned this to my wife.  Something about how one side made me look much younger than the other.

She made the point – somewhat nicely.

“You’re still old.  Doesn’t matter which side you look at!”
